Lap Band Surgery for Effective Weight Loss
Obesity - A serious, but Treatable Medical Condition
Obesity is a serious disease affecting millions of people around the world. It is often associated with other life-threatening conditions such as type 2
diabetes, hypertension, and heart-related illnesses that can be improved with sufficient weight loss.
The Lap Band Procedure – A Minimally Invasive, Adjustable and Reversible Weight Loss Solution
The Lap-Band Adjustable Gastric Band is the top weight loss surgical procedure used by surgeons to treat severe obesity:
- The lap band procedure is minimally invasive.
- Lap band has fewer risks and
side effects than other obesity surgeries.
- Effective in providing long term weight loss.
- Approved by the FDA as a surgical treatment for obesity
- Lap band is the only weight loss treatment that is adjustable and reversible.
Surgeons don't cut, staple, or bypass any portions of the stomach or intestines (1), as done with other weight-loss surgeries. The band is surgically placed
around the upper part of the stomach, forming a small gastric pouch to limit food intake. This causes a sensation of fullness that lasts.
One unique advantage of the Lap Band System is that the band's size can be adjusted to help you eat less and lose weight faster.
The band is held in place by minimal stitching and is connected by tubing to a port, which is located under the skin below the rib cage. After surgery, the
inner surface of the band is inflated or deflated with saline solution to help drive the rate of weight loss. This fill level can be adjusted through the
port access as needed.
